SAN JOSE — A frozen pipeline for housing tower development has prodded San Jose leaders to waive some fees to spur the construction of thousands of new homes downtown.
The San Jose City Council has voted 9-0 to ditch multiple fees temporarily that the municipality charges and agreed to apply the waivers to the next 10,000 housing units that receive a building permit and pass a government inspection, within specified timelines.
